CSGO Youtuber ChaBoyyHD opens 500 Prisma Cases in case opening

A CSGO Youtuber by the name of ChaboyyHD has spent over 2000 dollars in opening 500 Prisma Cases for a video.

The massive case opening was promised if he hit 50000 likes in his previous video and he not only lived up to it, but exceeded his commitment by 400 cases. Prisma cases on April 3 costed around $2, with an additional $1.25 for the keys costing him a whopping $2250.

However, the caveat is that he revealed that he was sponsored by CSGOempire, possibly for the entire opening, so it is wrong to assume that he fully paid for the opening just for his fans. In his opening, he got just 3 cases with knives, and although he got a very rare Stattrack Navaja in Factory New Condition, it was an underwhelming result to say the least.

This is not the end of the opening, as the Youtuber has challenged the community yet again, promising 1000 cases if he hits 100k likes on this video. While the video has already hit 35k likes, it remains to be seen whether it can acheieve the mammoth number of a lac.

CSGO Youtuber MojoOnPC releases Diss track on Anomaly accusing him of being shady

Popular CSGO Youtuber Jordy ‘MojoOnPC’ Janssens has released a diss track on ‘Anomaly’ accusing him of being shady and promoting gambling to his underage audience.

After taking a sabbatical of almost months, the Youtuber with over a million subs dropped a bombshell by accusing Anomaly from being a tax evader as well as the gambling sites he used to promote of being shady.

In the middle of the track, he stopped to explain what he had discovered.

“Bro, like quite honestly, Anomaly is one the shadiest guys in the CS:GO scene.”
“His fanbase is clearly not older than sixteen and he’s just brainwashing them bro. He literally said in one of his videos ‘if I’m not going to make gambling videos, my dad will die.’ We know how many videos he has to make to retire his dad – it’s one. He made 25,” he said.

CSGO has been the centre of controversy among some Youtubers from a while now, which started when Tmartn and Syndicate were caught promoting a gambling site which they partly owned and which had inflated odds for them to entice viewers, most of whom were not even allowed to gamble. More recently, YouTubers like ricegum and Jake Paul have been caught up in a similar controversy.

While Anomaly is yet to respond to the track, before its release he did tweet “Disstrack in 2019” with a thinking face emoji. In the coming few days we can expect a proper reply either as a new video or on his social media handles.
